The Magician of Sound

After the death of Eru, the magical beasts rank started crumbling by the combined efforts of the original army and the reinforcement.

Nathan offered to take over, but Kai decided to stay on the battlefield until they finished the war. Even though he didn\'t do anything other than standing on top of the wall, he still raised the army\'s morale. On the other hand, people like Tasha and Sofia, who had spent all their magic power, decided to climb the wall and rest.

After another hour of the gruesome battle, the last monster was finally killed.

Nathan came again to him, asking for his opinion. "By the way, what do you want with the soldiers? Most soldiers that originate from this place are too tired to do anything. And where is the general of this place? I need to have a great talk with him… How dare he skip a war like this?!"

"If you want to talk to him, you need to kill yourself first." Kai sighed, realizing the real source of this kind of situation was the third party that wreaked havoc on the military base.

"What? Where is his corpse?" Nathan instantly turned around, searching for Abec\'s body. He thought he had wronged him, albeit all the sympathy turned into mockery after he heard what Kai said next.

"No. There was a third party lurking inside the base, taking Evan and killing General Abec." Kai paused for a moment, noticing something was wrong. "Now that I think about it, where is Evan right now? No one actually accompanied him?"

Tasha, beside him, suddenly froze and looked away, realizing their mistake. "He is with Professor Ria in the hospital."

"Teacher is here?" Kai dropped his jaw, dumbfounded. "Why has no one told me about it? If I knew Teacher came to this place, I would ask her help, and our situation might not become like this!"

Tasha couldn\'t say anything as she stared at Sofia and Isabelle, asking for help. Unfortunately, both looked away as they didn\'t want to get involved with it, especially Isabelle.

"Ehm… After watching you get hurt by that beast made us forget. Besides, Professor Ria also told us not to say anything to you." Tasha decided to blurt it all out.

"It\'s obvious she didn\'t know our condition! If she knew about this, she would even come without hesitation." Kai scratched his head and let out a long sigh. "Whatever, we are safe anyway. The lecture can come later."

Tasha nodded furiously. Kai often lectured her like this in the past, when she first tried to fend off the enemies by herself. It was a scary experience, considering Kai got influenced by Ria Ross\'s style a bit. Since he wanted to lecture her about this, there was no way she would go down alone.

As she thought that, Michelle and Ayaka had a chill down to their spines as they immediately looked left and right, wondering what just happened.

Kai looked at the battlefield and sighed. A few hundred soldiers had lost their lives, and the remaining ones were still injured. Not having Evan in this situation made it more complicated.

"You can go to the hospital right now and heal yourself. Maybe you can also meet Ria Ross there and have a chat with her. I will take care of the rest." Nathan smiled before jumping off the wall.

Not long after, Silva came to him. "Sir! Thank you very much for helping us in this battle."

"Do you know that General Abec has died?"

"Or so I heard…" Silva nodded. "We have never expected there are enemies inside our base, so this is our mistake. Despite having a disadvantage, Sir didn\'t retreat and kept advancing. That gallant figure of yours is truly that of a General."

Kai gently smiled. Even though he had some immunity for praises, it still felt good to be praised.

"Let me have the honor to drive you to the hospital."

"It\'s fine." Kai shook his head, rejecting the idea. "I will go there myself. You should stay with the soldiers since they need you the most, not a student like me. However, can you pass this message to them? Everyone has worked hard, thank you."

Silva was amused by the message. "I understand. I will pass it to them."

After receiving Kai\'s message, Silva jumped off the wall and had a good chat with the soldiers. On the other hand, Kai opened his communication device and deleted the video from a few days ago.

Sofia noticed this and thought it must be her video.

"I have deleted the record, so you don\'t need to worry about them anymore." Kai looked at Sofia. "Though I first thought you wouldn\'t be of any use in this battle, it seemed I was wrong. So, I apologize for underestimating you… And thank you for your efforts this time. Despite facing death, you are still helping me and the soldiers to win this war."

Sofia grinned and raised her two fingers, making a peace sign. "Don\'t mention it. You are going to make me embarrassed. Besides, I am not the type who will abandon my promise, so I will see the battle to the end, even if it means defeat. That\'s also one of the things that a general need to see."

"I just hope that you don\'t cause any problem before the conference starts."

"Don\'t worry. We will just enjoy ourselves here since we have come."

Kai nodded and looked at Michelle and the others, asking them to climb the wall as well.

"How are you?" Michelle was the first to arrive as she felt she would be the useless one here compared to Tasha and Ayaka.

"We can get to the hospital right now with the others and become one of the patients while waiting for Evan to wake up and heal us."

"By the way, what is that magic?"

Kai thought for a moment and glanced at Sofia before saying. "I will talk about it later."

Although she had helped them, he still shouldn\'t disclose anything to her, so he wanted to wait until they were alone with only his group.

"I understand."

Nathan sent someone to drive them to the hospital. Although the city had been evacuated, the facility was still running.

They didn\'t wait and just occupied one of the rooms together. Only Kai and Michelle needed the treatment anyway since everyone was only exhausted after using their magic power.

However, when they reached the hospital, he decided to visit the only two people in the hospital.

*Bam!*

Inside there, they found Ria with a surprised expression and Evan, who was still healing his wound with his own magic. Some of his facial features might have come back, but his face could still be considered as disfigured.

This was the first time Kai saw this and sighed. "Sorry, Evan. It seems my decision to have you stand by in the base was wrong."

"Don\'t mind it." Evan shook his head. "And look at you, you are covered with wounds. And I can see that Michelle suffers some internal injuries. Both of you sit next to me; I will heal you along with myself."

Their eyes locked, and both of them had no choice other than doing what he wanted.

Evan then created a water ball to heal their injuries while keeping the other one for him.

Kai then looked at Ria. "Teacher… Why didn\'t you want me to know you are here? I almost got killed by a Protector, you know."

Ria opened her eyes. "What? A Protector?"

"Yes. I am not joking."

"I came here while avoiding your detection range, so I didn\'t know you were fighting the Protector." Ria glared at Michelle and the others. "Why didn\'t you come to me, especially Tasha? With your Space Magic, you can literally get me in a few seconds."

Tasha looked away as she couldn\'t utter a single excuse.

"Ahem… I will give you the lecture later, or Kai will probably do it for me." Ria wanted to scold them, but she decided not to because Sofia and Julia were there. "What happened to the Protector?"

"He died under the joint efforts of these people here and Sir Nathan."

"That\'s good then. After you are healed, I will head to the battlefield to check their progress."

"Yeah." Kai nodded. "And thank you for giving me the device… It really helped me in the battle."

"I was supposed to give it to you a week prior, but I had something to do, so it was also my fault. I am glad that it can help you." Ria smiled before looking at Isabelle with a sly grin. "That\'s right. You don\'t know about this yet, but there was a certain girl that became crazy because her prince got injured, you know."

"!!!" Everyone instantly realized who she was as they looked at Isabelle.

"Ho. Tell me about it." Kai smiled with an amused face. There was no need to guess her prince because that person was exactly behind him.

"Right! She obliterated that tiger guy and tortured him in rage… If you even get into the movies, it\'s without a doubt needed to be censored. I wonder what kind of story that these two have…" Ria smirked as she grabbed Isabelle, preventing her from escaping.

When Kai wanted to say more, he suddenly realized that the water bubble that had been healing him disappeared. He turned around and saw Evan looking away, embarrassed. "Hoho. This is going to be interesting!"

"Haha! I like it. As a reward, you guys can come to me if you want the Medicine. I can make sure that there is nothing wrong with your Zodiac Blood, you two little virgins!" Ria laughed out loud.

"What? We can do that?" Isabelle blurted out of surprise, but they could hear two voices asking for the same question. The first one was Isabelle, but the other one came from Sofia. She continued, "Where do I sign up for that Medicine? Seeing that Zodiacs\' creator is Leo\'s Teacher, does that mean Leo is no longer a virgin? What should I do to get that Medicine? Do I need to be his girlfriend first? Where do I sign up for that? Oh, wait! I can seduce him first!"

Sofia became a little too excited about this. She had once lost hope and decided to live alone. That was why she just wanted to do everything interesting to hide this feeling. Yet, the solution was right in front of her; there was no way she would let this chance slip.

"That\'s right. Julia is also going to be a Zodiac, so you can buy one and get two!" Sofia grabbed his shoulders.

"Oh boy!" Ria laughed. "Did I just give you another problem? Well, not that I hate it…"

"You should fix it, Teacher." Kai glared at her with an annoyed face.

"Fine." Ria shrugged and looked at Sofia. "There are two things you need to do. First, have Kai accept you. Second, become this base citizen!"

"Oi!"

"You have a deal!" Sofia nodded her head furiously.

"You can\'t!" Julia shouted, livening up the situation.
